Allis Chalmers Tractor and farm museum
In a separate room in building 1 of the ALLIS CHALMERS TRACTOR AND FARM MUSEUM is a large collection of 1/16th scale model tractors, and a display of hand crafted scale model buildings, barns, flour mill etc. built by a local farmer (artist). His display changes regularly, and is of interest to ladies and kids of all ages.
Upstairs in building 1 is a display of early farm implements and tools. I am lucky to live on a century farm so there were lots of old things in the barn and machine shed that were not thrown away. My wife and Daughter in law put together a 1920’s kitchen with the old cast iron sink and hand cistern pump, the cob and wood cook stove, wood and coal heating stove, wall telephone, wall clock, hand butter churn, and an assortment of old dishes and cooking utensils. We also have an Edison disc record player, an ice box, and a hand operated pneumatic vacuum sweeper.
Building 2 is full of AC implements. We have the models 40, 60, 66, and 90 combines, square and round balers, forage harvester w/ corn head, forage wagon, snap coupler tillage implements, mowers, rake, drill, dirt scoop, wagon hoist, and more.
